lyrics

I don’t think they notice
I think my thoughts are volumes longer
It is hard to watch
It is hard to hear

When you say those words
There is venom on your tongue
I wonder what for
They have never hurt you

You hate what you don’t understand
You resent what is unknown to you
The foreign angers you simply because it is foreign

I cannot abide
I cannot accept it
It is a shadow across you forever
And you will never listen

You will embrace your violence forever
You will justify your hate simply as something that always was
The world will change without you
I will happily leave you behind

Every step, every moment i remember
I’m not like you, i’m not like you
The things people say when they assume you’re one of them
Are the most revealing in the world
I’m not like that, i’m not like you at all

I’ve seen some bad things, i’ve heard some worse things
I wonder why you continue in half kindnesses and half truths
I wonder what you would say, how you would treat me
If you saw me unshrouded
I’m not like you, i’m not like you
I’m not like you at all.

it's venting, or maybe it's art or it might just be noise, or a waste of time, perhaps it is sacrilege, you tell me.
